| Just got a platter upgrade Gunther can be difficult to reach at times. He was very helpful when I upgraded my Final Tool motor. He brought it with him when attending CES and shipped it to me while he was in the US. It was well worth the $500 or so it cost at the time. I'd b... | |
| Whole house surge protection I had our utility company install a whole house surge protector after lightning struck the utility access in our front yard. Even though we have underground electrical service, the lightning strike to the cover of the underground junction fried ou... | |
| $$$ vs music enjoyment Actusreus, your original question regarding "empirical" evidence for evaluating the quality of a subjective experience seems based on a peculiar understanding of reality. How can one "prove" the quality of a subjective experience? To suggest that ... | |
| Dead Can Dance 2012 Tour Argh, your report leaves me queasy and disgruntled. The accelerating dissolution of the divide between performance reality and fiction continues to erode musical culture. I've seen a number of polls lately asking the public how they feel about thi... | |
| Hearing Aid Confusion My wife has had many years experience dealing with hearing loss, hearing aid purchase decisions and audiologists. First of all, soliciting advice about hearing aids isn't quite like seeking audio advice. Everyone's problems are unique and my solut... | |
| Joseph Chow I received the same email. Like Salevick, I assumed his email account had been hacked or his computer stolen. | |
| shielded vs. non-shielded in longer runs of cable Thanks for relating your experiences Elizabeth & Jallen. I ordered and installed a ten foot run of Luminous Audio Synchestra References and they work without any problems. No hum, no noise, dead quiet. | |
| Lyra Delos vs Grado Statement Reference low output I'm occasionally running a Grado Statement Master 1 after moving from a 5.0 mv Grado Sonata. The detail retrieval and high end end extension are better in the lower output version, but at a price. As the first poster Lloydc noted, it's hard to fin... | |
| Solid Epoxy Resin Platform - From the product info available online, it looks like it'a a bit of a misnomer to call products like Epoxyn "pure epoxy." The Epoxyn website says it's a mix of epoxy, silica, & pigment. | |
| Does anyone still miss the old Audiogon format? You can email members privately now, this feature was brought back some time ago. Just go to "Member Lookup," input the name of who you want to contact and you get a form to send a message to them. I've contacted a few members privately and it see... | |
| Favorite Pianists I always thought Claudio Arrau stuck a fine balance between virtuosity and introspective/philosophical pianism. I agree with most of what Yu11375 said, although I've rather liked Brendel's playing myself. I quite like Andras Schiff's playing as we... | |
| Speaker recommendation please, please, please Your potential candidates are all over the map as far as sound goes. I've only heard the last three on your list and they couldn't be more different. Without having developed your knowledge of what's available and how different brands sounds, aski... | |
| In what price range do I need to go for a Dac ? What do you mean by "better?" What aspect of the Simaudio is lacking and what sonic attributes do you want to accentuate? We all value different things, so if Esoteric's sound lights your fire, Audio Note isn't going to cut it, etc. | |
| Which stands for Joseph Audio Pulsars? When I visited their room at Axpona, Jeff Joseph was using some funky looking home-brew stands that either he or a friend made in a machine shop. They appeared minimal, functional, but not very attractive. I thought Jeff needed to find something t... | |
| Great Music/Bad Vinyl - 2010 Edition Aimee Mann isn't everyone's cup of tea but I think she's great. Her new album "Charmer" is another case of good music and crummy sounding vinyl. Gustavo Dudamel and the Vienna Philharmonic just released Mendelssohn's 3rd on the first Deutsche Gram... |
